Not often that what you buy exceeds your expectations...........
I have to comment on the Orion 2" prime focus adaptor; for $50 it's the best money I've spent this year!!!!??
When dissassembled it allows all the Meade SCT gizmos to be fitted to a standard 2" focusser ( think about the 2" zero shift attachment on the lX200) and also provides a short T thread adaptor which drops straight onto the SCT back cell... two for the price of one.
I found it great to allow mounting the f3.3 reducer behind the zero shift and get the Canon 350D to focus.
Well worth looking at.

Where in Australia did you purchase and is there a model number?

Don't have the details with me, but you should find it on the Bintel or Sirius web site. Just look for the Orion 2" prime focus T thread adaptor. Very good value!!
